30 Day Planksgiving Challenge

October 18, 2016

Who’s ready for a Planksgiving challenge? If your goal is to work on your abs, quads, and arms-this challenge is for you! Planks are an amazing exercise because they target multiple muscle groups in just one simple hard move.

How to do it:

Complete each plank on each designated day. (see chart below)

For the moves that require one side, one arm, or one leg-be sure to do both sides to complete 1 full rep.

Some plank moves will alternate or require continuous movement. Do the movement while holding the plank for 60 seconds. Then switch sides or continue on to the next rep.

How long:

Your goal is to hold that plank for at least 60 seconds. If you can go longer, cool. If not, do what you can!

How many times:

Do 3 sets of the move and you are done for the day!

The goal is to maintain a straight line and hold for a designated number of seconds. . You may need to begin by holding the position for only a few seconds as you build your strength. It’s better to hold the correct position for a shorter time than to go longer in an incorrect position.

Keep abs tight and press down through your shoulders and arms as you lift your hips and buttocks towards the ceiling.

Return to elbow plank position and repeat.

Day Thirty: Donkey Kick Plank

Begin in an elbow plank with elbows directly under shoulders, abs engaged toward the spine. Don’t let the pelvis sag down or pop up.

Lift leg off the ground, bending your knee so the sole of your foot is toward the ceiling.

Press your heel toward the ceiling as high as you can without moving your pelvis or lower back. The motion will not be huge but rather concentrated on the booty and hamstring.

Lower the bent leg slightly, and repeat for desired seconds.

Switch legs and repeat.

Congrats! You did it!!!!
